BIG HOUSE Art Exhibit
In late 1996, when the last residents of Woodlands were preparing their move to community, the BC Self Advocacy Foundation initiated a project to record memories and feelings of people who had lived in large institutions. In 1998 survivors worked with artist Persimmon Blackbridge to create a series of mixed-media pieces as part of a larger exhibition, From the Inside/OUT! Big House, presented by Inclusion BC Foundation, is a selection of these works coinciding with the City of New Westminster’s Canada 150+ programming centered on the theme of “Home”.
The exhibit runs from October 1 through to December 3 at the Anvil Centre in New Westminster. Selected artwork will also be displayed at New Westminster City Hall.
